Racer Suspension
Was shocked to read this; Bob is so experienced and knowledgeable as evidenced by his number of #1 qualifiers. I personally think the seat belt rule is pure BS when you consider other sanctioning body rules on safety equipment (i.e. SCCA) have much less stringent time limits but it's kinda like NASCAR, messing with safety equip rules is a sure bet for major penalities. Really sad to see great racers put on the sidelines like this...

Re: Racer Suspension
Wow. A $5000 fine. He can't race again until he pays the fine. Those are some expensive belts.

Re: Racer Suspension
What benefit would it be to have fake certification tags?

The benefit would be to the person selling them. They can take old belts and sell them as new. I highly doubt Bob would knowingly do something like this. Definitely not worth the trouble over a $50-100 item. Looks like the fine and suspension was mainly because he didn't allow NHRA to confiscate the belts and the discussion between him and NHRA may have got a little heated. Quote:
Correct, but I was referring to after he serves the suspension. Maybe he will appeal and it will get reduced. |

Re: Racer Suspension
I hope after a cool down period. He appeals it and it gets reduced or taken away completely.
Bob is a great racer and a real nice guy. I'm sure there are 2 sides to this story.

Re: Racer Suspension
What is this with the NHRA handing out X-tra large fines and suspensions eerily similar to Nascar...
Does anyone know any details about this?? $15k....  I don't think this is the future vision Wally Parks had for the sport! Last edited by SSDA Hemi; 05-16-2013 at 03:37 PM. |
